MACHINE FOR AUTOMATICALLY ROLLING PAPER TUBES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 596,262, dated December 28, 1897.

Application filed April 17, 1 8 9 6 To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, EDOUARD FREDERIC DELAPERRIERE, manufacturer, and LOUIS CHAMBON,engineer, citizens of the French Republic, residing at Paris, in the Department of the Seine, France, have invented certain newand usefulImprovements in Machines for Rolling Automatically Paper Tubes, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to a machine for making complete paper and pasteboard tubes of different diameters and sections.

This machine is characterized by the combination of the following constituent parts: a spool upon which the paper is rolled, which unwinds under a slight tension by the working of the machine and passes then under a pan with glue, where it is sufiicientlyimpregnated with adhesive matter; a series of mandrels upon which the paper coming from the spool after having previously been impregnated with adhesive matter is wound; two cylinders applying the paper successively upon each of the mandrels while it revolves, a cutter, dropping by the action of a disengaging device, serving to cut the paper when the roll is of the required thickness; rubber pincers which after the paper has been cut paste its free end upon a new mandrel, and, finally, a series of mechanical devices bringing, successively, each of the mandrels in position and ejecting the formed tubes.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 shows a sectional View in elevation of the whole of the machine on the line Y r of Fig. 2. Fig. 1 is a view of the right-hand part of the machine, this figure being an extension of Fig. 1; Fig. 2, a sectional plan of the same on the line V X of Fig. 1. Fig. 2 is a plan View of the right-hand part of the machine, showing an extension of Fig. 2; Fig. 3, a longitudinal section along the axle of the mandrel and of the wheel, Fig. 1; Fig. 4:, a

sectional view in elevation ofsaid machine on the line V X of Fig. 3; and Fig. 5, another sectional view in elevation on. line Y Z of-figure with parts broken away. Fig. 6 represents,

on a larger scale, a plan View through the shaft of the cams K. (See Fig. 1.) Fig. 7 is a hori- Serial No. 588,003. (No model.)

zontal cross-section taken through the lines 1 2 of Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a side elevation of the upper parts of Figs. 6 and '7. Figs. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and let are details of the lower parts of Fig. 1. Fig. 15 represents the detail drawing of the glue-reservoir in a position to apply the glue. Figs. 16 and 17 are, the first one, a front view, and the second a cross-section, of one of the wheels of the drum. Figs. 18 and 19 show as elevation and as plan the details of the means serving to withdraw the mandrels and to put them in place again.

The tubes areforrned upon mandrels B B carried by a rotary support or carrier comprising the two side plates D D, between which the mandrel extends parallel with the axes of the plates. The plates are connected with each other also by eight cross-pieces E E each carrying a counter-cutter N N hereinafter referred to.

The mandrels are adapted to slide through sockets O, fixed upon the plate D, Fig. 3. Eight arms D are arranged upon the outer surface of the plate D, by which, as hereinafter described, the mandrel-carrier is moved step by step about its axis. The paper, in web form, from which the tube is to be made passes from any suitable source of supply over 'the roller A, which is driven by the gearing H H. (Indicated in Fig. 1.) From this roller the paper web passes to the gluepan G and around the cylinder A therein and between said cylinder and the cylinder A to the winding mechanism. These cylinders are shown at the right of Fig. 1.

The distribution of the glue is regulated by screws 9, passing through brackets in the glue-pan and bearing at their lower ends upon the rearwardly-extending part X of the pansupporting frame. By these screws the pan can be raised or lowered to alterthe position of the scraper g, carried by the pan, relative to the glue-roller A which, as shown in Figs. 1 and 15, closes the lower open end of the pan. Two plates g g are arranged within the pan to be adjusted laterally thereof by means of the screws g Figs. 1 and 2, to suit different widths of paper.

A A over a guide A arranged adjacent to IOO the rotary carrier-plates D D, and thence to one of the mandrels, Fig. 1 showing the paper being wound on the mandrel B. These mandrels are brought in succession between the paper-rolling cylinders (J 0, Figs. 1. and 13, the cylinderC being carried by an oscillating lever C pivoted on an axis 10, supported in a bracket 11, Figs. 1 and 3, which is in turn supported on the main shaft. This roller is turned by the gear 1 on the main drivingshaft, Figs. 1 and 3, the intermediate gear 2, the gear 3 on the axis 12 of the carriers D D, the gear 4, and the gears 5 and 6, (seethe dotted lines, Fig. 1,) the former, 5, being on the axis 10 of the arm 0*, while the latter gear is connected with the rolling-cylinder C. The lower rolling-cylinder is carried by a lever T, pivoted on the axis T Figs. 1 and 13, in a stand arc], and this rolling-cylinder is positively driven through the gearing 7, 8, and 9, Figs. 1 and 3, the gear 7 being on the main drivingshaft, the gear 8 being on the axis T of the lever T, and the gear 0 being on the axis of the rolling-cylinder.

The carrier, comprising the plates 1) D and the cross bars Q, is designated as D and while this carrier is making its step-by-step movement the upper rolling-cylinder is raised. by the roller 14 on the lever (3 Figs. 1 and 13, riding 011 one of the high parts U of the cam U, which rotates with the carrier. The movement of the carrier thus separates the rolling-cylinders and at the same time it enters the mandrel between the cylinders and thereupon the roller ll, falling into one of the low parts or depressions of the cam V, allows the cylinder (1, under the action of the spring 15, to fall upon the mandrel and roll the paper about the same in conjunction with the lower rollingcylinder. \Vhen the re quired amount of the web has been rolled about the mandrel by the positive action of the rolling-cylinders, the lower rolling-cylinder having partaken of the separating movement of the cylinders will have moved the lever T down far enough to make the screw I, carried thereby, bear upon a pin I in a lever 1 Figs. 0, 9, 10, 13, and 14. This lever is also carried down and thus it releases its hooked end 16, Fig. 9, from an arm 1 fixed on a shaft 1 This shaft also carries the arm C Figs. 1 and 11, which up to this time has been holding down the plungerrod 17, Fig. 11, as indicated in dotted lines, against the pressure of the spring 0 As soon as the catch-arm I is released this spring G becomes eifective and forces the plunger upward. At its upper end this plunger carries the pincers C and the cutter C and when the plunger moves upward the cutter C acting in conjunction with the counter-cutter N, Fig. 11, severs the Web and forces the free end thereof upon the mandrel, which at this time is directly in the path of the pincers,which have a concave face adapted to fit the cylindrical form of the mandrel. The parts of Fig. 11 are shown as operating in connection with the mandrel 13.

The portion of the paper out off contin ucs to be wound upon the mandrel B until the tube being formed thereupon is completed. The lever T is carried by the frame I, which is under tension of the spring 18. During all this winding action the carrier 'D has remained at rest.

\Vhen the shaft 1 is rocked to release the cutter and pincers mechanism it also releases a pivoted lever 1, Figs. 2, l, 6, 7, and 8, by withdrawing the catch or lug I from engagement with the catch-lug 19 on thesaid lover. This lever then, under the action of the spring 7 Fig. 2, is drawn from the position shown in dotted lines, Figs. 2 and G, to that shown in full lines, and this catch throws the frictiongear J into work. The outside shell portion J X of this clutch rotates loosely 011 a shaft K, being driven constantly through the gears R and 11, Figs. 2, 3, 6, 7, and 8, while the inner part J is splined to the shaft K, so that when J is thrown into action the shaft K will be turned, and through a pinion K thereon and a gear K on the cam-shaft K the latter shaft will be rotated. This shaft carries the lever K Figs. 1 and 1G,which, operating upon the arms D of the carrier D moves the same one step to remove the mandrel B, with its completed tube, from between the rolling-cylinders and to bring afresh mandrel between said cylinders, A cam C, Fig. 9, on this shaft K, acting through a roller-arm 0 Figs. 1 and 9, returns the detent-shaft l to its normal position, so that in this action the pincers and cutter are Withdrawn from the mandrel B to allow the same to move to the rollingcylinders, this retracting movement being eifected through the lever 0 The cam-shaft also carries a cam K having a peripheral groove receiving a roller on a rocking lever F, Fig. 3, the slotted end of which engages a pin 20, Figs. 18 and 19, on a block 21, sliding in guideways 22 and having a forked end 23 to receive the heads I) of the mandrels as theycome around to the point at which the re tracting-block is located, when the heads engage with the forked end of the block. The lever F is operated by the cam K and the block is retracted from the carrier D thus drawing the mandrel out through the sleeve 0 and stripping the completed tube therefrom, which falls into any suitable receptacle. This discharging action takes place, of course, while the carrier D is at rest. The mandrel is returned to normal position again by the lever K before the carrier makes.

another step.

A cam-rib K on the gear K of the shaft K engages a roller K on the clntclrgear-controlling lever I and moves this back so as to be in position to be engaged and held by the detentcatch 1 when the latter is moved by the return of the detent-shaft I to normal position.

A cam-surface K on the cam-rib K moves the lever L, Fig. '7, laterally, and thus withdraws the detent Z from engagement with ICC the lever. 1 This lever then, under the action of its spring 1 is moved so that the friction-gear J is thrown out and all the parts viz., the carrier-moving devices, the pincers and cutter resetting mechanism, and the discharge mechanism-are stopped and only the rolling or winding mechanism is in operation.

The levers l I are jointed to each other at M, or, rather, they pivot about the same axis. The spring t' of lever I is stronger than the one of the lever 1 and when the lever I is released from the detent I both levers l and I are moved, so that the clutch J may be thrown in, the latter lever, 1 mov ing with the lever I by a pin I on the lever 1 projecting. down into the path of the edge of the lever I This throwing in of the clutch sets the lever I? in engagement with the detent Z of the releasing-lever L, so that at the proper time the lever I will be released to set the clutch free, the throwing-in lever I having been set at this time into engagement with the detent 1 which of course will leave the throw-out lever free to act when released by the lever L. The parts of the clutch are pressed together bya spring'l The action of the pincers 0 which are rubber-faced, is to paste the end of the web upon the mandrel, and in order to effect a slight preliminary winding of the web about the mandrel as it is leaving the pincers and before it arrives at the rolling-cylinders we mill the heads I) of the mandrel and cause them to engage with a fixed section S, Fig. 1, outside the carrier.

We claim- 1. A machine for making tubes, consisting of a rotary step-by-step carrier with means for operating the same, the series of mandrels carried by the carrier for winding the strip of material, means for applying glue to the material, rolling-cylinders for rolling the material upon the mandrels, a cutter, a countercutter acting in conjunction with the main cutter for severing the material when the tube has been wound-to the proper thickness, pincers for pressing the free end of the material upon a new mandrel and means for operating the mandrels to and from position to eject the tubes, substantially as described.
